Presentation Transcript

  1. Office of Coastal Management • Focus on Protection, Management, and Enhancement (Functional Restoration) of Coastal Resources • Nonpoint Pollution, Nutrient and Sediment loadings • Technical Assistance and Guidance (Shore Structures) • Streamlined Regulatory Processes (Permitting) • Public Access • Grant Programs (CELCP and State Pass Through) • Collaborative Programs with Core Partners • Ohio Sea Grant (Ohio State University) • Old Woman Creek NERR • Ohio Lake Erie Commission • NOAA (CSC, GLERL) www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  2. Changing water levels over a range of scales Long-term Seasonal Short-term Climate change impacts Water levels Storm frequency and magnitude Temperature Timing Impacts of water level regulation Harmful Algal Blooms Loadings and water quality degradation Habitat loss and degradation Invasive species Land-use change and shoreline development Erosion and irreversible lakebed downcutting Sand management Public access Lake Erie Challenges www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  3. Current Priorities • Nutrient and sediment loading into the State’s waterways (nonpoint pollution) • Harmful algal blooms (HABs) • Clean Lakes Initiative (ODNR, OEPA, ODA) • “4R” program (source, rate, time, place) • Healthy Lake Erie Fund ($10 million) • Minimize open-lake disposal of dredge material (promote beneficial use of dredge material) • Restoration of natural flow regimes (control drainage devices) • Habitat Loss and Degradation www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  4. OCMP Products and Services • Ohio Coastal Atlas • Ohio Coastal Design Manual/CEA Program www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  5. Lake Erie Shore Erosion Management Plan Coastal reaches identified by shoreline characteristics and erodibility. Provides information to coastal property owners and guidance as to appropriate methods of erosion control by coastal reach. Lake Erie Shoreline and Tributary Access Guides 324-page guidebook highlighting 164 publicly accessible locations along Ohio’s 312-mile shore Online companion guidebook also available via OCM website OCMP Products and Services www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  6. Technical Assistance – Site Visits • Coastal Erosion • Shore Protection • Sand Resource Management • Drainage/Groundwater Issues • Coastal Resiliency • Green Infrastructure • Coastal and Nearshore Habitat Enhancement • Adaptation Planning • Storm Recovery/Planning • Partnership with State and Local EMAs www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  8. Discussion Topics • Great Lakes Water Levels • Climate Variability and Adaptation • Coastal Resiliency • Nutrient and sediment loading into the State’s waterways (nonpoint pollution) • Harmful algal blooms (HABs) • Healthy Lake Erie Fund ($10 million) • Minimize open-lake disposal of dredge material (promote beneficial use of dredge material) • Ohio Clean Marinas Program www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  11. Management of Dredge Material • Port of Toledo • 800,000 cubic yards/year currently placed in the open lake • Resuspension and P loading concerns • Port of Cleveland • 250,000 cubic yards/year currently placed in confined disposal facilities (CDF) • CDF capacity issue. USACE promoting open lake disposal – are sediments clean enough? www.ohiodnr.com/coastal

  12. Beneficial Use – Sediment RemediationMaumee River CDF 18 CDF 3

  13. Beneficial Use – Alternative PlacementMaumee River

  14. Beneficial Use – Bedload InterceptionCuyahoga River • Bedload interception technology • Remove up to 45,000 cy/year clean sand before enters shipping channel • Beach nourishment, beneficial public uses • Offset costs • Sediment processing/remediation CDF 10B • Restore capacity • Offset costs • Habitat creation/rehabilitation

  15. Bedload Interception • Proposed location adjacent to existing sand/gravel operation • Passive collection system • Minimize fish impacts and WQ degradation

  16. Cleveland Harbor CDFs

  17. Ohio Clean Marinas Program • Began in 2004 • 44 Ohio Clean Marinas • 71 BMPs/marina • 33 Pledged Marinas • >1,500 Clean Boaters • Shrink Wrap Recycling • >100 marinas participate • Average annual savings: $700 / marina • Over 2.2 million lbs recycled since 2006 • Enough guard rail blocks to protect over 350 miles of highway www.ohiodnr.com/coastal
